Chapter 2: And When You Pray
1. For instance, a recent Pew Research Center survey revealed that one-quarter of self-identified Christians admit to only praying once a week or even once a month. Further than that, almost 10 percent indicated that they seldom or never pray. See http://www.pewforum.org/2015/11/03/chapter-2-religious-practices-and-experiences/# private-devotions.
2. This idea is defended and beautifully explained in John Piper, God Is the Gospel: Meditations on God’s Love as the Gift of Himself (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2011).
